My Nonprofit Reviews

Villa Musica is an excellent music school thriving under the exceptional leadership of Dr Fiona Chatwin. The music instructors at Villa Musica are talented, patient and wonderful with their students. My 2 kids have been taking lessons here for about 4 years and I could not hope for a better musical education. Whether you want to learn advanced music (instrumental or voice), or simply recreational music, the teachers will nourish/nurture your talent either ways. If you happen to be highly musically inclined, you will get multiple opportunities to showcase your talent before a broader audience. My son, who is learning the piano at Villa Musica with Ms April Lin, was selected as a guest artist to play the piano for the San Diego Symphony at the Copley Symphony Hall in San Diego. At age 10, this was a major breakthrough for him, and he is now even more passionate and confident about playing the piano. The monthly recitals, annual showcase and similar events conducted at VM are other great outlets to further develop your musical skills. The string faculty at VM is equally outstanding. My daughter is learning to play the violin and we appreciate the patience, knowledge and techniques used by her violin instructor, Mr Bram Goldstein. Maddy, Villa Musica’s Director of First Impressions, is an excellent vocalist herself and is always very willing to help with any administrative need.
I truly admire Villa Musica’s community outreach programs that provide musical education to families who may not have otherwise had the opportunity to pursue their interest in music. We feel fortunate to be part of the Villa Musica community.
